> The worst thing is, developers are embracing this AWS trend and seem to love it. No one seems to mind. Software engineers are cursed. Just when we've established a best practice and it's a solved problem, we throw it out and reinvent a new way to do it. I don't think AWS is a particularly loved ecosystem, it's just a well bundled set of tools. On the other hand cloud architects or whatever are like a modern day Pied Piper with so-called visionaries following them and burning money until their business runs out of runway. Once they realize they should have spent way their resources on diversifying their partnerships and creating a non shitty product instead of investing a gazillion on splitting a smelly monolith into 13 smelly parts, it is often too late. Have a plan B at all times and you'll be able to sleep well.
